Nothing in that area should have changed, but I'll check the logs next chance I get. Not suprising battery life tanks - you're telling a whole subsystem not to enter standby.
You'll have to scroll back to where edufur says how he did it. A search might pull it up (edufur safemode).

yay, i got 20755 to work somewhat like it used to(i deleted all files in ppckitchen folder and started from scratch). i dont have to disable gwes and the 30-40 minute idle shutdown is gone. although s2u2 still doesnt work like it should(still shuts off with power button) but i can map s2u2 to run on a diffrent button and then let s2u2 turn off screen.

Re: WM6.1 build 20931 kitchen
 

In past, I have tried to duplicate the effect with other safemode progs, but only SPB worked.

The safemode list should give much insight as to whats going on and restarting, so yea , will do l8tr 2day when get home.

I had, deleted the patched folder from the rar file and I think from my textfile, when making the rom, and it was dog-slow just to get to bootup and into safe mode, then all went fine after...Problem is it will always be cripplingly slow on a hard reset, so SPB was cooked into rom for the safemode. trying without cooking in would take all day just 2 load a the cab!

Re: WM6.1 build 20931 kitchen
 

Well, here is my contribution to the cause. I don't use the Apache anymore but my girlfriend has my old one. Since she didn't want steady streams of cooking, tweaking, etc... and since she wanted a solid build, I did the following:

1. Removed the patches from the group or device file (dont remember which it was)
2. Created a build for 20755 (it is the fastest of ALL one the safemode trick is done)
3. Setup a perfect amount of selections to fill the build and stayed with the default pagepool.
4. After build complete and configured, installed SPB Pocket Plus (this process will take a while since the phone is currently VERY slow)
5. After install complete, reset phone.
6. Reset again within less that one minute of the previous reset.
7. Upon second reset, phone will prompt for safe mode boot.
8. Complete a safe mode boot.
9. Reset again for normal boot.
10. Uninstall SPB pocket plus (since your device is now very fast and you likely dont ever need that again... unless you like its features)
11. Every rebuild or hard reset will require repeating steps 4 -10.

Have fun.

Re: WM6.1 build 20931 kitchen
 

I too studied the tutorials for using BuildOs to flash my Sprint PPC-6700. Unfortunately something went very wrong. After trying to "Build ROM" with different builds and getting memory available errors, I finally trimmed down the apps so that the memory problem became a non factor. There were a few dialog windows about overwriting an existing file to which I selected "yes."

The build finally completed successfully and the RUU ran and presented after about 5 minutes the "complete screen" about disconnecting my device and resetting. When I hard reset I see a screen asking for confirmations to either press "Y" to continue or "N" to exit. I press "Y" and "Clearing" appears, the screen goes dark and nothing happens. I press the power button and nothing appears to happen but the device evidently powers on because if I connect the usb cable to the computer it reports an unrecognized usb device.

The device is an old Sprint PPC-6700, bootloader is 1.00, pc is running XP SPk 2. Is it dead forever, or can it be revived? If it is dead, will it dream?

Thanks for any information...

Re: WM6.1 build 20931 kitchen
 

It's fine. put it in bootloader mode, then flash again. Try starting small (like clean) then adding, rather than huge and trimming till it just squeezes in.

Re: WM6.1 build 20931 kitchen
 

Thanks! I will give it a try and report...

Re: WM6.1 build 20931 kitchen
 

Thank you for saving my old 6700! Your suggestion worked wonderfully!
Any idea what happened to cause the problem? I installed a plain kitchen without any apps selected and the entire process took less than 7 minutes...

Thank you!

Re: WM6.1 build 20931 kitchen
 

Could be any number of things. Most likely, something you built in. If you can send me a selections.txt that demonstrates the problem, I'll be happy to diagnose it so others don't have the same problem.

Re: WM6.1 build 20931 kitchen
 

OK, sory for delay,
As you may know, my rom was cooked without the patches & using SPB method for correction.
I tried to find out why the SPB was working, and I didn't want whole OEM,
I made a small OEM with just the SPB safemode exe and 3dll files and registry.
It resetted but stayed slow and didn't give me the speed.
Same (no speed) results with another safemode prog that I made OEM of.
Only the whole PSB OEM worked so I assume, it must be something different how the SPB restarts..
It may also be the process list difference, I did not compare at the time.

Here is my process list of Safemode using SPB, then normal mode:
